Rather than dwelling on a week that should be forgotten, I'll just tell you how awesome my Friday turned out, and forget about nasty tests (at least until I get the grades back).
Let's see, after classes I was headed to the lab, and I saw a friend who is an undergrad in the lab eating a cookie in the elevator. I told her that she was lucky, and "there are no cookies in grad school." After that, another girl in the elevator pulled out a napkin full of cookies, and gave me one, "now you have a cookie!" I didn't know her, but I'm thankful to my mysterious cookie benefactor.
When I got to lab, the lead tech asked if I wanted to start my weekend early, since he didn't have anything for me to do. Two hours less work for me! After that, I headed to meet with Dr. Morgan, my Analytical Sampling professor, whose midterm I bombed pretty badly. I really respect him, and I hate doing poorly in his class. I just don't have the chem, physics, and math background. Basically, he told me he's going to set aside time to work with me each week, that he really doesn't think I'm doing that badly, and that he's glad I'm taking the class just out of interest, not necessity. I think he has a separate degree in making people feel awesome.
I left that meeting, and got to go home for a little bit before meeting school friends for sushi at Chiso in Fremont. It was completely delicious, and they have the best vegetarian/vegan sushi menu I've ever seen. It was really nice to spend time with the girls outside of our study group.
After I got ridiculously lost in the neighbors of Seattle, trying to get back to UW for archery. It took me 40 minutes to go 3 miles. Joys of Mapquest. Luckily, my friend Gabby wasn't mad at me for being late, and we got to do an hour of archery practice (see my last post to find out about my Robin Hood-like skills). After we hung out, had a drink, and just got to visit and catch up. It was so nice to have a fun, active, low stress evening.
Today I caught up with Leo this morning, and rode Starla a little. The weather was pretty nasty, so I didn't get to do as much as I wanted with her. On Tuesday she's getting all her vet stuff done, so I'm hoping tomorrow I get to have a better ride before she has to have al her shots and her dental. Most of this weekend is dedicated to writing a paper on MRSA, which actually feels nice and relaxing after this week!
Once again, I have no photos relevant to this post, but I do finally have shots of my apartment in Seattle. I think it ended up looking pretty classy.
Couch I'm borrowing from a school friend.
My bed with the home-made country equestrian themed pillows.
I got to put up my own paintings around the apartment.
My cute kitchen.
